Composting toilet
I'm thinking about a composting toilet in my TT. I have the room for it but I would like to know if anyone has gone this route?

The human waste humus from composting toilets cannot be used in garden areas where plants and vegetables are grown for human consumption. Hot turn composting can result in finished humus in 20 days. The Nature's Head composting toilet uses the hot turn method of composting. With two people, the Nature's Head will go about five weeks before it needs to be emptied. If one doesn't have flower beds in which to dump it, it can go into a 13 gallon plastic bag and thrown in the garbage. Use of a BioBag would be even better!
By the time you dump the composted contents it is more like dirt and not much like sewage.
Per federal dispersed camping rules one can dig a hole six (6) to twelve (12) inches deep at least 100 feet away from any water source to dispose of the urine. The composted humus could be put into a separate like hole. Before leaving, fill the holes with the dirt dug up to make them. Again, keeping the urine and humus separate virtually eliminates odor problems.
